Hey everyone, first time poster here. So, long story short I grenaded my 2007 RMZ 250 years ago being young and dumb.?‍♂️ Also young and dumb me purchased a used head off ebay, lost interest and put the bike in the shed to sit for three years. Recently I revisited the project and tore into this used head I bought. The good news, valves and seats look awesome, minor shimming needed. The really bad news, I bought a head with a wrecked intake cam journal. I have been calling around with the possibility of having it repaired, but keep coming up short. Has anyone dealt with this situation and had any luck with having them repaired? If I can get away with using this head it would be a lifesaver!

I will give them a call in the a.m. I know you said years back but do you know if they still do engine work like that? Checked out there website and it looks like they just do suspension work?

Thanks!

Thanks guys! Looks like I'll be sending it to Engine Dynamics. I had been in touch with him before your recommendation, 526. Had sent him pics and just got the green light from Mike to send it his way! I'll post pics of the end result! Fingers crossed!

When you get it back be sure to RE wash everything really well.
